I wish him well....

[SmootSmack]

Brandon Lloyd, Donte Stallworth, Jabar Gaffney...I'm calling it now...Josh Morgan is going to New England in 2016

[SBXVII]

Ok so we now know he's going to the Pats, but have you seen who all they have? lol.

Jabar Gaffney
Brandon Lloyd
Donte Stallworth
Anthony Gonzalez
Deion Branch
Chad Ochocinco
Julian Edelman
Wes Welker

It's like they are trying to put together an all star team. lol. I know some are washed up and some are not worth what they think of themselves but good god. lol. They might as well go out and pick up T.O. also. lol.

But ... but ... if the Patriots are assembling a team of has been/never were WR's (not including Welker) ... IT MUST BE BRILLIANT.

This....... better suited for a 3rd or 4th receiver role not one or two.

Patriots will be the SB fav in 2012. Darth Hoodie did much to shore up that defense and the offense will always be there, and maybe even better than 2011.

Ain't that the truth, that's what the media's going to say.

[12thMan]

Would it be out of the realm of possibility that Ocho could end up here now that Gaffney and Stallworth are in N.E.?

[MTK]

I don't think Ocho has much left in the tank.

I think the love affair with ocho (In reguards to him coming to the SKINS), is over.

[The Goat]

Brady didn't target Ocho much last year, which I found weird. He was open quite a lot in games a watched, including the SB, but again the ball just didn't go his way much. So I wonder if the rapport has been slow to develop? If Brady wanted him gone I think Bill would do it, so maybe we'll see Ocho get more work this year. I actually think he's pretty adept at creating space and getting open...it's not all about speed.

I don't think the trust factor was ever there between Brady and Ocho. NE's offense runs a lot of option routes, both guys need to be in sync. Ocho just didn't get up to speed quickly enough.

Well said...that's what I had in mind. Who knows if he'll get there? Talk about competition in training camp lol there's a dozen or so WRs!!
